Recently the Orwellian mask of the abortion industry has come off. In some ways it was their choice.
Planned Parenthood stopped using euphemistic ‘choice’ rhetoric knowing full well that the circumstances that drive women to get abortion represent the coercive polar opposite. Perhaps now they think they don’t need the language to accomplish their willfully gruesome agenda anymore. Additionally, spring revealed the fruit of the draconian abortion logic when in a Florida legislative hearing Planned Parenthood lobbyist all but said the killing of a baby born alive should be left up to the woman and her doctor. But in 2008 then Illinois Senator Barak Obama intimated the same thing as he rejected legislation providing full medical care to a baby should he or she be born alive during an abortion.
Yet in some ways the removal of the abortion agenda’s mask was unintentional as Planned Parenthood has been caught time and again in cases of insurance fraud, unsafe conditions, and botched abortions. The Delaware Planned Parenthood currently under investigation is over seen by medical director Eric Schaff who researched the chemical abortion RU-486 for years at the University of Rochester in Cuomo’s New York State. Schaff was quietly asked to leave his position in Rochester for what one inside source at the hospital claimed were human subjects testing violations (We are loath to imagine what that could mean after seeing jars of baby feet in Philadelphia). But no investigation by health departments, politicians, medical peers, media . . . nothing. Silence. Oh, and then there’s Kermit Gosnell whose house of horrors is located just 3.4 miles away from Schaff’s most recent Philadelphia office which the mainstream media was shamed into covering by outraged citizens taking over Twitter and Facebook on Friday April 12th. According to testimony, Gosnell recklessly harmed women sometimes killing them as well as routinely beheading live late term babies.
Why isn’t Barack Obama launching an investigation into the abortion business? Why didn’t Andrew Cuomo pass a message of emergency bill restricting the abuses of abortionists in NY as quickly as he whipped out gun restrictions after the Connecticut school shooting knowing Schaff was trained in practicing abortion in New York City and Rochester, NY, respectively? Or at the very least why hasn’t he publicly denounced his abortion expansion bill which literally paves the way for more fraud, abuse, and murder under his brazen newspeak banner, ‘Women’s Equality Act’? His anti-corruption crusade rings more hypocritical by the minute. Remind me again how removing the doctor from a woman’s medical care improves women’s healthcare, especially with doctors like Gosnell and Schaff routinely brutalizing them? You can read Cuomo’s abortion expansion bill here.
The chilling reason why Planned Parenthood evades, Obama ‘can’t comment,’ Cuomo keeps quiet, Gosnell (God help us) ‘snipped,’ and the media was reluctant to cover the story is 
because all five of them and their representative constituents are complicit with the U.S. Supreme Court in their belief that personhood can be qualified. The biological difference between fertilization and death at old age is simply a matter of time, not a matter of humanity. What the Supreme Court did in 1973 with Roe was arbitrarily move the line of when a human is deemed a person deserving protection of their God-given right to life. Is it possible that a group of nine culturally, and perhaps agenda-driven, Justices could be wrong? They’ve been wrong in the past. We need look no further than the Supreme Court’s denial of rights in 1823 to Native Americans, in 1857 to African Americans, and in 1927 to the ‘mentally unfit.’ The Supreme Court actually has a history of getting personhood wrong.
Perhaps the framers were not silent on the definition of personhood. Perhaps it is as obvious as the words on this page—God, our creator, has endowed each of us with life. He alone is the giver of life and if you have to ask the question of whether or not some ONE is a person you’ve missed that founding principle altogether: man did not create himself. And if the Justices are so morally out-to-lunch that they entertain such questions then the great American experiment stands on the razor’s edge rather than soaring the sunny heights of liberty. The very deed of deciding the personhood status of any category of human presumes that the decider has authority to dictate and deny the personhood of any category of human. Once someone or small group of people do so they assume the mantle of the master of all humanity implicitly hollowing out the revolutionary context of America’s birth.
Many morally responsible citizens like me are outraged by the Supreme Court, the mainstream media, Gosnell, Obama, and Cuomo for their utter disregard of the personhood of pre-born boys and girls and the corollary: utter disrespect of all of humanity. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr., “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Gosnell is not just a run of the mill murderer. He represents the decidedly anti-American view of personhood held by Obama, Cuomo and the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision. The American revolutionary principle that all are created equal whatever your stage or station in the human experience must be core to the notion of personhood, lest all classes of human are at risk of dehumanization by legislative or judicial fiat. The very thought that anyone has the power to determine who qualifies as a person and who doesn’t is anti-American and reflects a blind hubris reminiscent of the empirical despotism against which the American revolutionaries so fiercely fought. If personhood is defined by other persons then freedom is an illusion for all but the ruling elite and the pre-born are just the tip of that age-old iceberg, democide. Either all of us are persons equally or all but the definers of personhood are slaves.
